Is Reykjavík Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

Iceland is a wonderful country to visit! Nature, people and food will surprise and leave you speechless..in a good way. It is indeed quite expensive to travel there so plan ahead, look for locals preferance for pubs and restaurants and do wear warm clothes.

Couple travel

A really cute city, in my opinion 2 days are enough to explore everything. Be aware that the prices are super high, I would recommend bringing your own food since a simple kebab there costs 20€ (in Berlin it’s 6-8€). Also there are more tourists than locals

Solo travel

Reykjavik is quirky, safe, and interesting. There are plenty of attractions for days when the weather doesn’t agree with your plans 😅. The Perlan, Hallgrimskirkja, and rainbow road are stand outs. The food and beverages are expensive. Expect to spend $50 USD on a main and $12 USD on a beer.

Watch for date rape drugs at bars and drunk men at night in Rvk. Be careful with weather and wind if driving. Slipping on ice is a challenge in winter otherwise it’s very safe. Not a lot if public transport but buses are safe

Biggest safety issue imo were icey streets if you want to name something. Always met people (tourists) even at night, never felt unsafe by any means. Didn't go clubbing but many bars were in downtown area with hotels close by so no need for long walks at night.

Reykjavik is over all pretty safe but there are safer places in the country! If youre visiting I definitely recommend not staying in Reykjavik the whole time since theres so much more to see :) Happy and safe travels

City center is quite safe and you don’t really need to worry about any harm coming to you. The nightlife can be a bit wild at times but nothing you can’t handle. Recently there has been an increase in pick pockets at popular tourist attractions but if are mindful it is perfectly safe.
